Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month.
I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.
I'd love to hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc
Okay storytime
Non tech grad, starting job 3.5L grew to 4.2L Desperate to get out, did t2 MBA Placement of 6.5L, desperate to move but Covid happened, was just grateful to have something coming in two switches later, at 18L
It is still less, considering post-MBA but numbers are huge in comparison. 6 days of today is worth 1.5x of first job monthly salary
I don't recommend MBA if you are smart enough, but it helps in growth. Had I not, I would have grown to 10L max.
Was earning good prior to my MBA.
Went and did MBA from a relatively new but growing Tier 2 college. Had the best social and sex life in past two years.
Could have pulled more through bumble but those bi*ches be dumb.
I can share, I was working abroad post my T1 engineering. So you can imagine it must be > 1L.
Like all those confused 20+ engineers, I asked one of my skip levels that how should one plan the career path. He gave me a simple framework, “Look at your boss or bosses boss. If you are ok living that life, you’re on the right path else time to think more”.
I got my answers, maybe try finding yours rather than seeking majority “votes” :)
Because everything doesnt boil down to money at the end of the day. Today you may feel that 1LPM+ will probably make me happy but honestly a lot of the jobs wont even let you have the time to spend it. Whats the point of accumulating heavy numbers in the bank account. I was making 2+LPM at 2+ years of workex but still didnt get much satisfaction out of that, hence changed the career trajectory
Thinking of doing an MBA degree Main factor worrying me is I'm making a good amount of money in my current job (20lpa, 2yoe), but I want to do an MBA to gain a broader perspective/get a business outlook/make friends😔/personal growth. I...

Work experience is > MBA for sure.
I’m at a crossroads in my career and would appreciate some advice. With 3 years of experience in software engineering, I began at TCS with a salary of around ₹3.5 LPA. After a raise, I transitioned to a Big 4 firm as a Data Engineer, now...
